ALT Why do large corporations disrupt their own business more than their markets? Why do startups crash against the realities of scaling, no matter how well they are funded? Why do leaders mistake noise for progress? Packed with sharp insights, humor and no-nonsense wisdom, The Disruption Fallacy explains why most breakthroughs do not come from reckless reinvention but from smart, strategic evolution. Whether you are in consumer goods, tech, or any industry balancing ambition with reality, this book will help you disrupt the right thing and nothing more.

That's not exactly the message he's been promoting through his lyrics, is it? – at The Hague, The Netherlands
Snoop Dogg explained in 80 seconds why men stopped approaching women.
Do men not shoot their shot anymore because social media turned dating into a simulation?
Snoop says yes, and his reason is better than the usual “phones ruined everything” take.
In his era, getting with someone took real effort. You had to look at her, talk to her, get her to like you, and know her parents and how she moved. You had to get involved before you could get involved.
Now it’s a couple of pictures and a couple of lines, and people expect something real from a few typed words.
The part I found most interesting is his point about texting. A text gives you what he’s typing, not what he’s saying. “You look good today” can read as sweet or creepy depending on the mood of the person reading it. Text has no tone, face or feeling to go with it.
Approaching someone in person is hard on purpose. It makes you learn to read people, handle a no, and become someone worth talking to. When you skip that, you also skip what it would have taught you.
What he calls the cheat code ended up costing men the skill.

People should always be in control of the future.
OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that “AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”.
People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.

At what point do we stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax and start asking where all of our tax money is going.

JUST IN🚨: Nobel Prize Physicist James Peebles says we must admit a hard truth: Dark matter and dark energy are just placeholders for our ignorance.
95% of the universe remains completely unknown to us.

Refrigerators and freezers but they aren’t connected to the internet.
BREAKING:
This morning’s cyberattack against supermarket fridges and freezers has now spread to Belgium, Sweden, Luxembourg and Estonia.
The hackers increased the temperature up to 50C. Food worth millions of euros has been spoiled.
Experts warn that such cyberattacks on supply chains and logistics can constitute a threat to national food security in many Western states.
